Everyone has their own approach to succeeding on the Full Body Cleanse. Some like to make meals every day and some people like to prep meals for the entire week. We suggest batch prepping for anyone looking to save time in the kitchen. You don’t have to dive in the deep end and prep every meal and snack for every day of every week, but it isn’t a bad idea to prep at least one meal a week to help you stay on track.
Most people wish they could have more time in the morning. You never want to feel like you are in a rush, although panic is inevitable when you look at the clock, only to realize that you don’t have breakfast and you should have left ten minutes ago. The best thing you can do for yourself while cleansing is to prep smoothies to shave time off your mornings. When you have a smoothie bag ready to go, you don’t have to think about what to make and it takes less than five minutes to remove from the freezer, add to the blender, and blend it up. Plus, you get to eat a healthy breakfast without reverting to something that is not cleanse-approved.
It is best to start on a small scale so that you don’t fall off the meal prep wagon. The problem with being overzealous is that you are likely to stop meal prepping. Start simple by following this prep, which will provide you with one smoothie for each day of an entire week. That equates to seven breakfasts. The flavor of the smoothie can change by adding different quantities of the different berries.
